CARBURETE'R FOR CARBURETlNG-LAMPS SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 737,683, dated September 1, 1903;.

Application filed June 13, 1902. Serial lie-111,54?- (No model.)

To (all whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK WILLIAM XVARNER, a subject of the King ofGreat Britain, residing at Montreal, in the district of Montreal,Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Oarbureters for Carbureting-Lamps, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in carbureters forcarbureting-lamps; and the object of the invention is to devise acarbureter which sh all vaporize the gasolene instantaneously, andthereby avoid the delay incident to the ignition of the burner andwhereby when ignited a clear and steady light is produced.

The invention includes the construction and arrangement of partshereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which*Figure 1 is a sectional perspective view of my device. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of the main burner and cylindrical casing. Fig. 3 is aperspective view of the outercasing or cup. Fig. l is a plan View of thedisk from above, eliminating the lamp and chimney.

Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

a is the main burner, and Z) the supplementary burner surlnounting thesame.

0 is the cylindrical casing extending clownwardly from the main burnerand firmly attached thereto or forming part thereof and open at itslower end.

d d are wire-gauze screens covering the top of the main burner a and thetop of the supplementary burner b. A

e is an outer casing or cup preferably cylindrical in shape and designedto contain the cylindrical casing c, suitably suspended there in by therivets f and g, leaving a clear space all around between the outer andinner casing, though the inner casing is not centrally disposed in theouter casing.

h is a tube or passage extending through the outer casing and across thespace between to the outer periphery of the inner easing.

'i is a chimney-support provided with a cen} tral sleeve surmounting themain burner and firmly secured thereto in any suitable manner:

j are orifices extending through the chini ney-support and preferablyarranged in a circle around the main burner.

is a'mantle suitably supported from the main burner.

l is a chimney of any suitable, shape and size and supported by thesupport 'i.

m is a rod extending upwardly through the orifice n in the disk 1' andprovided with the button 0 at its lower end and at its upper and bentend and pointing downwardly the crotch p.

q is a match designed to beinserted in the crotch 19 before lighting.

r is an annulus supported by the rods 3 and designed to steady thechimney at its upper end in order to prevent any possibility of themantle being damaged through any acci dental jar of the said chimney.

Having described the various parts in detail involved in myinvention, Ishall now more particularly explain the operation thereof.

The tube or passage his suitably connected to a gasolene-supply tank andany approved form of cut-off provided. The gasolene is then turned on,and as it trickles slowly through the passage h, and on and down theouter periphery of the inner casing a match is lighted and inserted inthe crotch 19 when the latter is in its lower position. The button 0 isthen pushed upwardly, which carries the lighted match inside the chimneyZ. This causes the air inside the chimney to heat, and consequently toascend and find egress from the chimney through the top thereof.

The egress of the air from the chimney causes a rush of air to take itsplace, and as the only openings into the chimney besides the top openingare the orifices j and the burners a and b the air will naturally rushinto the chimney up through the said burners,

for the open top end of the outer casing offers the least resistance asthe first entrance for the air to the chimney in comparison with theorifices which, of course, supply a certain amount of air to the saidchimney, but only sufficient to clear the smoke and contribute oxygen toaid combustion.

The inrush of air down between the casings c and 6 causes the almostinstantaneous evaporation of the gasolene trickling down the outerperiphery of the inner casing, and in the second inrush of air the vaporWill be carried and emitted through the gauzes d d.

The match which is burning inside the chimney ignites the vapor pouringthrough the gauzes, and this causes the illumination of the mantle.

It Will be seen that the supplementary burner b carries a portion of thevapor still higher up in the mantle, and thus distributes the same moreevenly therearound, in order that the best possible results may bearrived at in the general admixture of heated air and matter ofconvenience, as it is essential to heat the air in the chimney; but I donot Wish to confine myself to the arrangement for the match as shown.

What I claim as my invention is 4 1. A carbureter forhydrocarbon-burners comprising a receptacle, a burner-supporting tubedepending Within said receptacle and having a'lower open end, said tubebeing spaced from the Walls of the receptacle and a feed-pipe forhydrocarbon adapted to feed the hydrocarbon directly against theexterior surface of the burner-tube, substantially as described.

2. A carbureter for hydrocarbon-burners comprising a cylindricalreceptacle, a burnersupporting tube located eccentrically within thesame and having an open lower end and a feed-pipefor hydrocarbonterminating in close proximity to the exterior Wall of the feed-pipe,substantially as described.

Signed at Montreal, in the district of Montreal, in the Province ofQuebec, Canada-, this 10th day of June, 1902.
